Taylor Dena, 7 months, awaits a group stroller ride in the grounds of ASI Children’s Center at Cal State Fullerton in 2015. The center is available for the children of CSUF faculty, staff and students. Student volunteers help run the center.

• The Cal State Fullerton Children’s Center has received a new five-year accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children Academy.

The NAEYC Early Childhood Program Accreditation is awarded to institutions that strive to provide quality early childhood education.

The Children’s Center – founded in 1974 – offers affordable child care services to the children of CSUF students, faculty and staff.

The center is a student-funded program.

• The American Psychological Association has awarded CSUF’s Counseling and Psychological Services’ doctoral internship program in health service psychology with a new seven-year national accreditation.

Doctoral interns in the program provide CSUF students with services in psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and mental health outreach and consultation.

The U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation recognize the American Psychological Association as the national accrediting authority for professional education and training in psychology.

Another social media challenge win

CSUF has once again won Forbes’ annual social media challenge, #MyTopCollege, in which students, alumni, faculty and staff of higher education institutions are challenged to share on social media why their institution is a “top college.”

This marks the third consecutive year the university has been named a winner of the competition, which this year included more than 100 colleges across the United States.

“Once again California State University, Fullerton takes the crown for schools with over 15,000 students,” Forbes said on its website. “The seasoned vets started out strong and racked up an impressive 267 posts. Never sacrificing quality, CSUF students highlighted the school’s commitment to diversity and service.”
